About the Site

The site is about communication and makes no attempt to show Pearces as something which it is not. I have spent too much of my life loading bloated web pages not to make speed of navigation a priority. There is not one animated graphic to wink and gyrate at you like some middle-eastern belly-dancer on steroids.

Each page has a consistent header menu which includes numbered buttons for each of the main pages. Relevent subsidiary pages are found below the main menu. The current page or sub-page are shown in a lighter shade.

If it is likely that the page is deeper than your browser page, there will be a ‘go top’ button in the bottom right hand corner.

It is not expected that this site will result in the world beating a path to our door. It is intended that it will become a local resource for our customers and the people

of Chesham although we naturally welcome enquiries from further afield.

The site has been developed in-house (chorus line: “Oh, it shows, it certainly shows”) and has had a gestation period longer than an elephants. I have tested a number of web-authoring programs. I am currently a fan of WeBuilder from Blumentals Software (www.blumentals.net) The shopping cart is hosted by Mal's eCommerce.

The photo’s were scanned on a very cheap A4 scanner (it shows!) although I am in the process of replacing these with digital photos.

We have not been very vigorous in testing the pages on different browsers and the site works best using Internet Explorer 6 or Firefox on 800x600 or 1024x768 resolution. These browsers are a pain.
